Culture and history
The château in Újezd is a two-wing, single-storey building. On its eastern side stands the Chapel of Saint Anne, which was later added to the château as a Baroque chapel.
The large barn associated with the newer Horšice fortress, which is still standing, is a two-storey rectangular building measuring approximately 14 × 21 m, with a mansard roof and massive buttresses. Only inconspicuous traces in the terrain remain of the older Horšice fortress.
The monument to Gendarmerie Sergeant Josef Šlajs in Nevěrná was erected by Tělovýchovná jednota Sokol Horšice on 26 August 1945. It commemorates the gendarmerie sergeant who was seriously wounded there in the forest above Újezd on 19 May 1945 while searching for German soldiers and died of his injuries on 20 May 1945. The wayside cross U křížku on the road from Horšice to Luh was restored on 5 September 2000.
